The Spanish Governor to Manila surrendered so much. Zhu Qizhuo's trip to the east was simply too smooth. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was so uncomfortable in Liaodong.

Why?

Because he boasted about Haikou in front of Chongzhen that he could pacify Liao in five years, but more than a year later, even Guangning, which was close to him, was not recovered.

Guangning is a key point, because from the front line from Jinzhou to Liaoyang, there is only one important city in Guangning. If Guangning can be recovered, he can fight all the way to Liaoyang, and most of Liaodong's territory will be recovered.

The problem is that he just can't defeat Guangning, or in other words, some people are unwilling to cooperate with him to defeat Guangning.

This person is Mao Wenlong.

It should be said that at the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan still had high hopes for Mao Wenlong, because the Dongjiang army under Mao Wenlong was really brave and good at fighting.

During the Tianqi Dynasty, Mao Wenlong attacked everywhere since the establishment of Dongjiang, constantly harassing behind Jiannu. He once captured Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, Xuancheng, Kuandian and other places. The Liaodong military and civilians who had surrendered him reached more than one million at the most. When the Dongjiang army was the most powerful, it was said that there were more than one hundred thousand.

The Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Censor of the Censorate, Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong General Secretary, once praised Mao Wenlong: He was appointed as the Minister of the Iron Cavalry Camp, abandoned the Confucians and joined the army, and was determined to destroy the enemy, set up a broad defense, and all the dangerous and obstructed shapes of the mountains and rivers in the barbarians were well-versed. He was proficient in all the methods of attacking and defending, and was proficient in the martial arts, and those who were scheming, knowledgeable, courageous, and capable, how could they get more!

Sun Chengzong, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the governor of Ji Liao, also praised Mao Wenlong: Wenlong came to the cave of a jackal with a lonely sword, wandered in the wind and waves, and was able to form a vassal state, and was able to fight with people, and repeatedly defeated the oxen chief. Moreover, his ambition was to follow the requests of his ministers, and he held his tail and rammed his nest. People in the world were so soft that they were worried about defending themselves, but they thought they could be captured, which was enough to inspire the heroes of the world, and those who had suddenly made those who had shrunk their necks and feet feel ashamed of death.

It can be seen that Mao Wenlong is really capable, and the Dongjiang Army is really brave and good at fighting.

The reason why Yuan Chonghuan dared to boast about Haikou's words that the five-year pacification of Liao was not just a boast. He believed that it would be enough to deal with Jiannu with more than 100,000 Guanning Army and more than 100,000 Dongjiang Army.

After all, Jiannu can organize at most 100,000 people. Although the elite Eight Banners are strong in combat, the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army are not vegetarians.

At the beginning, he withstood the fierce attack of Jiannu's 50,000 or 60,000 troops with 10,000 remaining troops and achieved a great victory in Ningyuan. Now, more than 200,000 Guanning and Dongjiang Army have joined forces, can he not defeat Jiannu?

He thinks, can!

Therefore, after arriving in Liaodong, he began to prepare for war, preparing to join forces with the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army to defeat Jiannu and recover Liaodong.

His strategy is very simple, which is to make the world attack, to make Jiannu exhausted, and then take the opportunity to recover lost territory.

That is, Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang army to make a big splash in the rear of Jiannu, frequently attacked, and constantly harassed Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Xuancheng, Zhenjiang, Yizhou, Kuandian and other places, and put on a desperate posture, making Jiannu exhausted.

In this way, he could take advantage of the restraint of Jiannu's main force and recover Guangning in one fell swoop, then fight from Guangning to Liaoyang, and finally join forces with Mao Wenlong to regain Liaoyang and Shenyang.

This tactic is logically fine.

After all, Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang army to capture Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, Xuancheng, Kuandian and other places during the Tianqi Dynasty. At this moment, it was just a bluff and attracting the main force of Jiannu. It should not be difficult.

Moreover, he led the Guanning Army to fight with the main force of Jiannu twice, and won the Ningyuan Victory and Ningjin Victory. If the main force of Jiannu was attracted by Mao Wenlong, it would be difficult for him to take Guangning and then fight all the way to Liaoyang.

Problem, whenever he ordered Mao Wenlong to attack, Mao Wenlong always used various excuses to refuse and refused to send troops.

Now, he felt very uncomfortable. If Mao Wenlong didn’t send troops, he would not be able to send troops!

Because Mao Wenlong was only responsible for the feint attack, he didn't really need to fight with Jiannu. Moreover, Mao Wenlong had many warships under his command and had very strong maneuverability. Once the main force of Jiannu arrived, they could escape.

But he is different. If he sends troops, he will fight with Jiannu and attack the city and capture the village. If he is ambushed by the main force of Jiannu, it will be over. He is not a naughty man like Wang Huazhen, and he thinks that Guanning Army can defeat Jiannu.

He was still cautious. He knew very well that only by relying on the Dongjiang army to restrain the main force of Jiannu, he could recover Guangning, Haizhou and other places. Otherwise, he would run to attack the city where Jiannu was stationed and would be very likely to be attacked and defeated.

So, at the beginning, he responded to Mao Wenlong's request, just asking Mao Wenlong to send troops as soon as possible.

Mao Wenlong said that the military merit rewards for the past years were not received and his morale was sluggish. He personally went to Pi Island to boost morale and rewarded 3,575 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, three to five taels of officers and one to one tael of soldiers based on their military merits.

Mao Wenlong said that the food and wages were insufficient and he could not go to the battle, so he raised more than 100,000 taels of silver and sent them to Dongjiang.

Although these silvers are very different from the military merit rewards promised by the court and the food and money that the Dongjiang Army deserves, they can last for a month or two. At this moment, Liaodong is in short supply. It is not easy for him to dig out so much money to give Mao Wenlong. Now, should Mao Wenlong send troops?

Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong still refused to send troops after receiving the money.

What's going on? Why did Mao Wenlong, who caught Jiannu and bitten wildly in the Chongzhen Dynasty, become a sick cat when he arrived at the Chongzhen Dynasty?

Is it really because of insufficient food and salary, no rewards for military merit, and the morale of the military is sluggish?

In fact, this is not the case at all. Even if Yuan Chonghuan rewarded Mao Wenlong with food and military merits, Mao Wenlong would not send troops.

Because, they are not all the way.

Yuan Chonghuan was promoted by Hou Xun of the Donglin Party, trained by Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party, and recommended by Qian Longxi of the Donglin Party, and was definitely the Donglin Group.

Mao Wenlong was promoted by Wang Huazhen, a traitor from the eunuch party. Moreover, he once regarded Wei Zhongxian as his godfather and built a temple for Wei Zhongxian, which was a complete eunuch party.

This can be seen clearly from the experiences of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong in the Tianqi Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan won the Ningyuan Victory and Ningjin Victory during the Tianqi Dynasty, defeating Nurhaci and Huang Taiji one after another. However, he was only transferred from the local rank third rank senator to the third rank right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The rank was not improved at all, so he could only resign in anger and leave.

During the Tianqi Dynasty, Mao Wenlong was only harassed the Jiannu's rear and did not fight with the Jiannu's main force. However, he was able to promote from a guerrilla general to a sergeant general, then to the general, then to the right governor and the left governor of the Five Army Governor's Office.

The reason why Mao Wenlong was unwilling to help Yuan Chonghuan was to put it bluntly because of the party struggle.

At this moment, Chongzhen is using Donglin to deal with the eunuch party and continues to dig deep into the case of eunuch party rebellion. As a complete eunuch party, can he help Yuan Chonghuan of the Donglin group?

it's out of the question!

Besides, Zhu Qizhua, a crazy king with great hands and eyes, had to escape from this storm, "King of Pingnan" Ai Tiezhu pretended to be a rebel and killed himself and pretended to die and escape. How could Mao Wenlong not be afraid?

He is scared!

The remnants of the eunuch party, or those who had had a relationship with Wei Zhongxian, were afraid to die. They were trying their best to stop Chongzhen from continuing to investigate the eunuch party's rebellion case.

What can they come up with?

Kill Chongzhen?

This is not very difficult. Chongzhen is not Tianqi, nor is it Taichang. His father and brother were killed for no reason. How could he be careless?

Therefore, it is almost impossible to use red pills and immortal medicines and spiritual remnants to kill Chongzhen.

Then, since you can't beat Chongzhen, you can only kill Donglin!

Once Donglin left, the court was in the world of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. It was impossible for Chongzhen to ask them to investigate themselves.

The opportunity to kill Donglin was Yuan Chonghuan.

Didn’t you brag about the five-year Pacification of Liao in front of Chongzhen? We will make it a joke for you to balance Liao in the five-year Pacification of Liao. You are ready to face Chongzhen’s anger.

Once Chongzhen gets angry, Donglin will wait to be implicated!
